Default i have $14,000 to spend :)

by tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. eastern standard time i will have sold my 98 coupe and will have $14,000 to spend

im going to buy a 96-98 hatch with plenty of miles on it for hopefully $4,000-$4,500 which will leave me with $10,000 to spend.

first step is a usdm b18c5 from hondamotorsonline about $5,000 shipped.

then i want to put the 99-00 front on it with a mugen lip, CF hood, ctr headlights which comes to about $2,000

so now i have $3,000 left i was origanlly thinking to get a CW paint job but after some thinking i want to go faster

what i want to get is a jun head package and possibly some high compression pistons. would any of you please tell me a website where i can look for the jun head package???

other suggestions to spend the $3,000 would be greatly appreciated. thanksss

damn dude, toss money around 'n' ****.

Nowhere in there do you have any Sus upgrades. Get an EG. Do motor, Do Sus.

Oh, and for spoon stuff, see my sig.

I've said this once before.....

.....go as fast as you want, but if can't handle the next turn or stop in time, you're screwed!

Motor
Hood and Lip
Paint Job

Get some brake and suspension upgrades...TEIN?...Brembo?

Oh ya, all this is IMO.

well its not a bad car at all its got a lot of show mods: 17" enkei wheel, ricey body (wings west aggressor), ion headlights, corbeau seats, veilside hood, zex nitrous kit (only for show), and its only got 40500 miles

i will work on suspension the next thing i do when i get some more money probably get some skunk 2 coilovers and tociko shocks and all strut and sway bars.

but right now with the money i have im interested in motor work, does anybody have the site name for ericks racing???

and another thing how reliable are crvtec's i was thinkin maybe one off of import builders site.

but you guys know best and i kinda wana stay away from turbo because i will be going to college and wont have money or a bit

if you update to a 99-00 front end, chances are you're gonna have to get new paint anyway...I say screw the 99 front end and screw the c5, get boosted LS and go have some fun!

Edit: Can't forget the suspension!!!
